Andie (formerly Morticia)

We adopted Morticia a little over a month ago and changed her name to Andie after some of our favorite movie characters (Kate Hudson & Anne Hathaway). We love her so much! Andie is such a joy to be around. Without fail, she wakes us up at 5:30am to go on her morning 2-mile walk and many times walks up to four miles a day. She enjoys going to the parks and running around the football fields off-leash. Her favorite pastime is chasing rabbits and going for car rides. She loves to ride in the back seat with her head right by the rear air-condition so she can literally be a cool-dog. As a working dog, she really enjoys the time we spend training and she’s a rockstar performer. She’s so good, that she stops on every corner and comes to an automatic sit without a command. On top of walking, she loves to give us hugs and kisses and receives lots of attention. During the beginning she was a picky eater, but after a little training and making her work for her food, she now gobbles it up like a healthy girl. Next month, Andie is going to start agility training which should be lots of fun for both of us. For Halloween she is going to be a shark to scare away the ghosts and goblins….

Austin Boxer Rescue has done a great job with Andie and we can’t thank them enough for the hard work they’ve done during the time she was fostered. For the last several years, We’ve dreamed of owning a boxer and ABR helped make our dreams come true.
Thank you ABR.
Sincerely,

Michael & Norma Leal

Bobby Benson is a beautiful flashy fawn boy with a face you won’t forget. A perfect white T-bone over his muzzle and forehead highlight striking, alert amber eyes. ABR rescued him from Palm Valley so he’s finishing up his preventive medication for tick borne illnesses and he’s still getting his health back. Some of our Boxers from there are so poorly treated it takes a vet visit or 2 and some time for them to heal. Remarkably, he is heartworm negative. He is happy to have a 7 year old female Boxer and 17 year old female Dachsund as his new friends. He does not live with cats or kids so we don’t know how he relates to them.

Bobby is a calm, easy going guy who likes to amble around and be near his new foster family. He perks up for unfamiliar noises and the occasional squirrel. He is learning commands like sit, space, gentle and wait and he is getting pretty good at waiting his turn for pets and attention (something that’s usually hard for new rescues to do.) He does well on leash with his Boxer sister.

He’s not a fan of his crate, but he goes on in and settles down so long as someone is home. This 5 year old does not like it when his new family leaves; can’t blame him now he finally has one. Bobby Benson has had a pretty rough ride so far just getting to a safe, warm loving family. He has a leg or two left in his journey before he’ll be ready for the transition to a forever family. We’ll do our best to let you know how he’s doing and how close he is to joining your family.

Our boxers would like to thank all of our donors and bidders that participated in our online auction. We made approximately $11,500 to help with the purchase of our new kennel!! We couldn’t be happier! Although there were so many volunteers that helped make the auction possible there are just a few that need mentioning. Nikki Valencia worked every single day for three months on this. She was actually the leader on every aspect of the auction. Her cool head kept me calm and I can’t thank her enough. Thanks to Rhonda Mates and Fair Woods. Carol Eskew jumped in with both feet, as usual, and Greg and Evie Walberg went above and beyond in donations and support for ABR. We hope everyone will take a short road trip to visit the kennel the first of the year. Thank you... ... See MoreSee Less
